3.3 Compatibility to SIMATIC PCS 7
Functional Compatibility to SIMATIC PCS 7
• CPU 416-2 PCI can communicate with another AS 41x via communication
blocks (interconnected in CFC) and physically via the Industrial Ethernet
interface integrated in Box PC 620.
• CPU 416-2 PCI can communicate with an OS server via the on-board
Industrial Ethernet interface in Box PC 620.
• The "Compile and Download Objects" function in SIMATIC Manager can be
used for the configured CPU 416-2 PCI.
• The time synchronization of the CPU 416-2 PCI can be configured similar to
the S7-41x CPUs in HW Config.
The time synchronization between the OS and CPU within the Box PCs can be
established in the WinAC time synchronization dialog via a central clock (clock
master) on the plant bus (Industrial Ethernet) or via the local PC clock of the
Box PCs.
Special Features as Compared to SIMATIC PCS 7
• CPU 416-2 PCI is listed in the catalog V6.0 SP3 in HW Config under
SIMATIC PC Station\CPU 416- 2 PCI.
• Remote Engineering via Industrial Ethernet – The SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX CPU
can be loaded and diagnosed from a PCS 7 engineering station connected to
the on-board Ethernet interface in the Box PC.
Restrictions Compared to SIMATIC PCS 7
• The "Download Changes to the OS Online" function cannot be performed with
the "SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX as single station system" configuration variant. The
function can be used with the configuration variants "SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX with
external engineering" and "SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX in PCS 7 network".
• The "Configure in Run" (CiR) feature is not possible.
• It is not possible to load the PC station in run mode.
